Wayne Rooney is reportedly out of Manchester United 's pre-season tour plans ahead of a return to Everton.

According to the Sun , the United captain's name has been removed from the travelling party, which departs for the USA on Sunday, July 9.

The report suggests that Rooney will have already completed a permanent move back to Goodison Park by the time the plane leaves Manchester this weekend.

Rooney came through the youth ranks at Everton before moving to United in 2004.

Now United's record goal scorer, his minutes were vastly reduced last season under Jose Mourinho , and ahead of a summer of further recruitment set to include Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata , the 31-year-old is set to return to Merseyside for an increase in playing time ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

It is claimed that Rooney had no serious offers to relocate across the Atlantic to extend his career in MLS, while he has no interest in moving to China.
